Yeah. Since all LZ compression algorithms are heuristics, there are some rare cases where zlib beats zstd in compression ratio by a bit, but never speed. In all cases where we've deployed zstd, we've seen aggregate compression ratio improvements over zlib, and expect the same here. >With zstd, I doubt we should show "deflate" to user.
